Introduction

The Honeycomb Game is a word-building game: make words by clicking on cells in the honeycomb below. Choose a letter to begin with, then another next to it. Keep doing this until you have made a continuous chain of touching cells, forming a word of three letters or more.

Every letter carries a certain number of points (much as in Scrabble) and the darker-shaded cells bring a bonus. When you are satisfied with your word and your score, add it to your ‘Honey Jar’ by clicking the Add button.

See if you can make 10 words at an average of 40 points or more. Alternatively, try to score 100 points in under 2 minutes. Simply click the Timer to start the clock.

The word tough is already showing in the grid. Add to it or change it, or click New Game to start over.
